I've been getting a bit of a transmission clonk for some time on the TD5. I've also had a diff bearing whine for a long time so I thought the two might be related. Just had a look under the front end, and it turns out the UJ on the front end of the cardon joint at the rear of the front prop is absolutely knackered.
Started to take off the prop shaft, then I realised I don't have the little tool that helps you avoid rounding off the heads of the nuts (you didn't need it on the 101). I then checked with the dealer who said the UJ on the D2 is different than the spare one I have for the D1, so I'd need a new one; so I thought to hell with it, I'll drop it down to Challenger and they can do it for me.
When I got there Paul confirmed that the UJ on the D2 IS the same as the spare one I have in the garage, so thanks very much to the dealer. So I could have done it myself... although it's quite nice to have somebody else get covered in oil for a change.
